The saga of the UNC-CH football scandals continues to unfold like a Dan Brown novel. This entry  made today on frumpzilla takes a detailed look at the recruitment of Delvon Simmons and the employment of Brian Baker, who worked under Butch as UNC’s defensive line coach for about a month, leaving just after signing day. We wrote about the […]
UNC Scandal
Ramsay’s lawyer: “We’re convinced that Devon has not committed any violation”
Today the N & O reported some statements made by Ramsay’s lawyer, specifically: “We’re convinced that Devon has not committed any violation,†said former N.C. Supreme Court justice Robert Orr, who represents Ramsay. and “What we’ve had to do is back away from that penalty phase and try to address everything surrounding the violation question,†[…]
NCAA denies McAdoo appeal, Baddour calls decision “unfair”
In news nobody could possibly find surprising, former UNC-CH defensive end Michael McAdoo had his appeal denied today. The News and Observer has the best coverage of this development. McAdoo was previously declared permanently ineligible by the NCAA — apparently due to tutor issues (if I am reading this right): UNC has declined to disclose which […]
Baddour “researched” past cases: Butch tells recruits no scholarship reductions or bowl bans are coming, other odds and ends (Day 202)
Hey everybody! I have been slammed at work and therefore unable to write as much as I would like. My apologies.  Three recent developments warrant comment — so here we go, “Bytes” style. First, let’s go over some comments made by Sylvester Williams, a UNC-CH signee.  This Charlotte Observer article posted today explains that Coach Davis explained to Sylvester that UNC-CH would suffer […]
Yahoo! Sports criticizes Elaine Marshall
I have literally no time so I will have to rely on other members of the author team and/or the comments of alert readers for analysis of this piece posted today by Rand Getlin of Yahoo! Sports. Here is an excellent quote from the article: North Carolina’s Secretary of State, Elaine Marshall, claimed the expertise […]
Marvin back in the news! Learned from money-buddy, Hakeem Nicks
The News and Observer today posted this article, which explains that Marvin will wear #99 and a UNC helmet in this Saturday’s East – West Shrine game. I can’t express how happy I am about the helmet situation. What a great representative of UNC-CH! Also, Marvin refused to take the Wonderlic intelligence test that is administered […]
More Amazing Email!
Given that UNC has still not released all of the email and other records they are required to, it is surprising how much has been found so far. I’m sure more will come out as time goes by, but aside from the UNC professor’s email we talked about last night, there are some additional emails that I think are worthy of […]
9/3 email from UNC professor to Thorp makes numerous explosive assertions
WRAL recently made available this email, sent from UNC Kenan Professor of Medicine David Clemmons to Holden Thorp on September 3rd. The entire thing is a MUST READ. WRAL now has a searchable database of UNC emails up and ready for action. I would invite readers to do some researching and report back any fun stuff […]
A closer look at the Ramsay case
In this entry yesterday we talked about how UNC-CH has asked the NCAA for Devon Ramsay’s appeal to be delayed. I thought given this development maybe a closer look at his case would be fun. As alert readers will remember, Ramsay played in the first 4 games of this year before being ruled permanently ineligible for receiving “improper benefits,” which […]
BREAKING: Art Chansky out at UNC, 10/6 Chansky email to Thorp about search for Davis replacement
Late this afternoon the word came down that Art Chansky, who is a big wheel at Tar Heel Sports properties, was out, apparently unexpectedly. Also, around the same time, WTVD made available this email, which is amazing. Basically Chansky is critical of Davis in a vague way and is suggesting some guys to conduct a coaching […]
